First time posting here. I'm thinking about starting FP and NCR as soon as I get all the gadgets needed.
My face now:
1. My mandible is somewhat short, the vertical length is 10 cm (4 inches) but I also think it sits too far back. Look at the first pic, the red line is my estimated guess of the angle of the ramus. In the second pic I have pushed my mandible forward and I think the angle looks normal there.
2. My nose looks like it's rotated upward. Look at pic 1, the yellow line has the same angle as the cartilage in the lower part of my nose, that explains why it looks the way it does. I have thought about adding more cartilage there so that I get a more manly nose.
3. My sloping forehead.
All these 3 thing make the other 2 look worse. The face is convex + an odd nose for a man.
Will FP make my nose point even more upward?
Will FP change the position of my mandible so that I get a better balanced profile? (I haven't seen any profile pics from people that has had good results from FP)
Can NCR make my forehead less sloped? (Filling out the top part of my forehead)
The mouth guard plato showed (

Isn't the metal wire better than the shoelace method some people here have used?
What treatment is recomended to begin with? Does it matter?
